CCFA Skills is a family of agent skills that helps researchers develop the storyline and presentation of CCF-A research papers. It supports work across research ideas, literature, experiments, writing, figures, reviews, rebuttals, and submission while keeping the argument connected. The catalogue entry consists of the project's research-writing skills and plugin.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

- NVIDIA SkillSpector warn
SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 19 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
- medium Rogue Agent · line 29 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00057 | $0.01374 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00687 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00275 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00137 |
Grade A, and why
ccf-skill-forger scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CCF Skill Forger
Invocation Controls
CCFA Handoff Mode: PARTIAL (Recommended). Follow metadata.ccf_skill_controls.handoff_question_mode and ../ccf-common/references/handoff-modes.md when maintaining the CCFA skill family.
When maintaining the CCFA skill family, preserve metadata.ccf_skill_controls in each SKILL.md. Do not add sibling-skill transitions without checking ../ccf-common/references/routing.md, ../ccf-common/references/task-modes.md, ../ccf-common/references/handoff-modes.md, and the denylist-respecting fallback.
If the user disables a skill or asks for writing-only behavior, encode that boundary directly in the edited skill instructions. Do not weaken idea-scope protection in writing skills unless the user explicitly requests that policy change.
When adding sources, update ../ccf-common/references/source-registry.yaml instead of duplicating URL lists in sibling skills. When adding browsing or evidence rules, keep them aligned with ../ccf-common/references/privacy-and-evidence.md.
Never commit machine-specific absolute paths, usernames, expanded home directories, or private local directory names into skills, README files, source registries, diagrams, examples, scripts, or command snippets. Use $CODEX_HOME, $HOME, repo-relative paths, or placeholders that do not identify the user or machine.
Core Rule
Build skills as compact operational guidance for another Codex session. Keep SKILL.md focused on trigger-relevant workflow, decisions, and resource navigation. Put detailed examples, checklists, schemas, policy text, or long instructions in references/ and load them only when needed. This skill also owns CCFA documentation SVG diagrams; do not create a separate runtime drawing skill for repository architecture or workflow diagrams.
Workflow
- Clarify the goal with concrete examples. If the user's intent is clear, proceed with reasonable assumptions. Ask only for missing information that changes the skill's scope, location, or required assets.
- Choose a skill name and destination. Use lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens only; keep names under 64 characters; check for conflicts in the target skills directory. Default to
$CODEX_HOME/skills; if unset, use~/.codex/skills. - Decide the resource shape:
- Use only
SKILL.mdfor short, stable procedural guidance. - Add
references/for detailed documentation that Codex should read selectively. - Add
scripts/only for repeatable deterministic operations or fragile command sequences. - Add
assets/only for templates, images, boilerplate, or other files used in final outputs.
- Use only
- Initialize the skill when creating from scratch. Prefer the local
skill-creatorinitializer if available:
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ccf-skill-forger is a skill published in the GitHub repository mikubaka88/CCFA-Skills (2,395 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 1,374 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
